Tight Sport Seats

I find the sport seats a little tight for my body style (wide butt), Any
easy solutions? Already tried all adjustments...otherwise the car is a top
performer.

Sorry to hear that! I am in the same league as you (the WWWBC...the World Wide...Wide Butt Coalition...:P...I also am in the Boston area too...well actually the South Shore...) and gotten the non sport version and very happy with it and its seats! Well good luck with your endeavour and Happy New Year!

I found the sport seats kinda tight as well and I don't have a wide butt.
That was the main reason we didn't get the S

Even my active/fit teenage son found them tight.

Ok for short drives but on a long cruise, I thought they'd bug me.

Either way it's an excellent car and don't let this thing stop you from getting a G. If it really bugs you, just get the non-S like me.
I also have an IS250 RWD/manual and I prefer my G37x many times over.

Wouldn't people with wide butts feel even better in the seats, since they're bringing their own cushion?

I have the non-sport seats and would love to trade with someone who wants the regular seats. I have black leather if anyone were to be interested in trading

the seats? Mine are 1 week and are black. Thanks.

Mine are about 6 months. I am located near Louisville, KY so trading would take some work. Any thoughts? Do you think the dealers would be helpful with shipping?

Sport Seats

The seats do break-in over the first few weeks. After a month or so, with careful adjustment of the seat position, they were comfortable even for 2-3 hour drives.

Thanks...I'm going to wait a couple of months and see if they break in a bit as I've been told they would.

Try this to speed things up...place your hands on the sides of your thighs and push outward. I did this several times with mine and it really helped. My seat and it's now comfortable.
